Explanation Given: The equation of the parabola is x = ( y − 3 ) 2 . Definition used: The equation of the parabola having vertex ( h , k ) is ( y − k ) 2 = 4 c ( x − h ) . The parabola opens to right if c > 0 or left if c < 0 . Here, the focus is a distance | c | from the vertex. The equation of the axis of the parabola is y = k . Calculation: Write the given equation x = ( y − 3 ) 2 in the standard form of parabola. x = ( y − 3 ) 2 ( y − 3 ) 2 = x ( y − 3 ) 2 = ( x − 0 ) Compare the obtained equation ( y − 3 ) 2 = ( x − 0 ) with the standard form of the parabola ( y − k ) 2 = 4 c ( x − h ) to obtain the value of h , k and c . h = 0 k = 3 4 c = 1 c = 1 4 Here, the vertex ( h , k ) of the parabola is ( 0 , 3 ) and the value of c is 1 4 . Since 1 4 > 0 , the parabola opens to right. From the above definition, the equation of the axis of the parabola is calculated as follows: y = k ( 1 ) Substitute, 3 for k in equation (1) to obtain the equation of the axis of parabola
